1. What if I am sick?

A person with a mild, common illness, such as a cold with a low-grade fever, does not have to wait to be vaccinated. A person with a compromised immune system, as occurs with cancer patients, may need to wait on certain vaccines. However, others, such as influenza are important to receive if a person’s immune system is compromised. If you are unsure of your situation, please call and ask to speak with a nurse.

2. What if I am pregnant?

Vaccinations are an important concern for pregnant women. When possible, get necessary vaccines before pregnancy. Talk to your doctor about the importance of Tdap vaccination. However, it may also be important to receive some vaccines during pregnancy. The influenza vaccine is one that is important to receive during that time. The CDC has clear guidelines for the use of vaccines during pregnancy. Talk with your doctor. For more information visit the CDC website.

3. How was your visit to the immunization clinic?

The Health Department wants to assure clinic services are meeting the needs of its clients. Please complete a satisfaction survey following your visit to immunization clinic.
